I'm on the same boat. At my age, most people I know have mortgages, marriages, families, and even a few assets. I have none of those things (though I am in a common-law relationship). I have debt and no savings, no real assets, and I have only 32 years left until I hit that socially prescribed retirement age. Yeeeah.... at this rate, it ain't gonna happen.
So what am I going to do about it? Well, for starters, I'm in the process of rewriting my scripts. You know, those things that people wrote for you and you've been living by all this time, or maybe you've been deviating from them subconsciously and have been miserable because, well, you feel like a deviant and things aren't "going according to plan"—even though you have no plan.
Toss out what you think others expect of you and go after what matters to you most. If you don't know what that is, you have a lot of work to do. Have at it.
